Thirty percent of foreign development aid is channeled through NGOs
or community-based organizations to improve service delivery to the
poor, build social capital, and establish democracy in developing
nations. However, growing evidence suggests that aid often erodes,
rather than promotes, cooperation within developing nations. This
book presents a rare, micro level account of the complex
decision-making processes that bring individuals together to form
collective-action platforms. It then examines why aid often breaks
down the very institutions for collective action that it aims to
promote.
"Breakdown in Pakistan" identifies concrete measures to check the
erosion of cooperation in foreign aid scenarios. Pakistan is one of
the largest recipients of international development aid, and
therefore the empirical details presented are particularly relevant
for policy. The book's argument is equally applicable to a number
of other developing countries, and has important implications for
recent discussions within the field of economics.
